    Lizard King

    The illegal wildlife trade is alive and well, despite our best efforts to curb it. By far the largest contributor to illegal wildlife smuggling is for skins and food in Asian markets. My philosophy is, if you're going to take it from the wild, whether illegally or not, it should be intended for...

    Quadricornis Observations

    We're working mainly with T.q.quadricornis. We do have a pair of T.q.gracilior acclimating so I'm not stressing them with breeding until they're ready. Patience is a virtue! :) Luis

    Distinction between Trioceros Quadricornis subspecies

    Ha Harry! I wish I had the space to acquire more than a pair! We'll be looking to re-home a few of these deremensis juveniles soon, so once that's all been taken care of we can begin expanding our cham operation. ;) Daniel, email sent! :) Luis

    Distinction between Trioceros Quadricornis subspecies

    T.q.gracilior also exhibit red toe nails. Males tend to be lighter with more yellow on and around the cheeks. We just acquired our first pair of T.q.gracilior so we're still a little fuzzy on some of the details. :) Luis

    Lizard King

    The lizard king has been out for quote a while. It's actually about the misadventures of Strictly Reptiles. There is a new book that was released a week or two ago titled Stolen World. This is mainly about Hank Molt and Tom Crutchfield. :) Luis

    Trioceros quadricornis ssp. group size

    Hey Benny, We've successfully kept pairs and trios (1.2) together in larger enclosures. The typical suggestions apply, plenty of space, foliage and branches. One thing I've noticed, however, is try not to remove the females for any amount of time, even after layign eggs etc. Males will often...

    Uroplatus Questions

    Well, to be honest, the care sheets I've sent is about as good as it gets, but you can see what the differences are in the galleries. The common names are as follows... U. ebanaui - Spearpoint Leaf Tail Gecko U. fimbriatus - Giant Leaf Tail Gecko U. giganteus - White Eyed Leaf Tail Gecko...

    Uroplatus Questions

    Howdy! Well, there is some sound advice already given. I would recommend reading the care sheets we have posted on http://www.uroplatus.org . We have one for fimbriatus and lineatus as well as the holy grail of care sheets (IMHO anyway) for phantasticus written by Mike Martin. Now, having...

    Deremensis baby shed

    Looking good Chuck! But do you think she was a little agitated at what was staring at her from across the room?! I know our Meller's freaks out when I take our 7' carpet python out of his enclosure. :P Luis

    T. deremensis Breeding

    If they've successfully bred more than a few times there is no need to continue stressing her out over the situation. We don't do anything special to lower/raise the temps. Our seasonal changes are enough for them to notice the difference. This time of the year it can get as low as 55° at night...

    T. deremensis Breeding

    Congratulations on a successful breeding! We've raised a few clutches and have committed much our efforts to continuing work with T. deremensis. We cool ours down around this time of the year and notice the males will usually stop eating and roam about their enclosures until they find a female...
